    My interest has been piqued by a couple of Handguns that seem to be a pretty good value.

    1. Canik TP9 (Nutnfancy on Youtube has me sold on this one)Canik TP9: Making Glock Scared...for $319 [FULL REVIEW] - YouTube

    Is there a dealer in Indy that has them? I know Garder Mtn has them but are about $100 to high.

    2. SCCY CPX-2

    Does anyone have any experience with this gun?

    What other guns do you like for under $400?

    I bought a Shield for under $400. That would be the only one I have that is currently under 400. It has it's purpose and I enjoy it.

    I would have to say the best little gun that I shoot for under 400$ dollars is going to have to be the Bersa Thunder380 pistol I own one my dad owns one and my mom even owns one there great quality for the money reliable and very accurate its a good sized handgun small but not to small its bigger than a Ruger LCP but smaller than a Glock and you can pick up some models of the Bersa Thunder 380 for about 300$ bucks so the Bersa Thunder 380 gets my Vote.

    I forgot one that I love to shoot keltec pmr 30. I'm not a keltec fan but for $369 or $389 I can't remember its hard to beat a 30rd pistol. Plus there sights are actually pretty fair and the gun shoots great with 25rds in mag until break in. I own 2 have had 3 of them but was offered crazy money for one and sold it.

    Bud's Gunshop has S&W 6906 12 shot 9mm Police trade ins right now for $369. Great quality used gun for under $400. The Bersa BP9CC is a nice little single stack 9mm for $360 on Gunbroker. I have seen S&W Shields for $349.
    Just shop around, you can find lots of great handguns out there for <$400.

    Some are going to start hating right off the bat. I picked up a brand new Taurus PT1911 .45acp for $399+ $10 shipping and free transfer.

    No hate here. I have owned several Taurus handguns over the years and all were/are solid performers. I especially like the Model 85.

    I hear you.
    My edc for the past 5 years or so has been a total titanium model 605 Taurus .357mag. I also have a model 607, 7-shot .357mag, a model 327 6-shot .327 Federal magnum, older model PT99, a 4" barreled Ultra-Lite Judge, and a Raging Bull in .454Casull.

    The only Taurus I've ever had an issue with was a TCP .380. Returned it for warranty repairs. They replaced it and I sold it immediately.
